All,
i have a savage lady hunter (for my wife) which simply shoots terrible. Its been back to savage and they claim it shoots 1.25 inches but do not state the range they were shooting. The best groups I’ve achieved are 3inches at 100 yards. I have checked with two different known good scopes with 5 different types of ammo. I replaced all plastic bottom metal with real metal as I’ve heard that can help since I can torque the pillars a bit more. Currently the action screws are at 45lbs. It currently wears 1 piece Talley base/rings. My next step is to eliminate the current bases/rings to something better to make sure that’s not the problem. If that does not work, I’m ordering a new criterion barrel and fully bedding the rifle stock which I know will solve the issue. So what 1 piece picatinny type base do you recommend and which rings? I would like to try to keep the scope height low if possible. Thanks!
